Austin: The House of Representatives of the people of Texas issued a bill that prohibits transgender women and women from participating in school sports after three previous efforts failed, all but ensuring the Governor of the Republic of Greg Abbott would sign it.
Texas is now ready to join seven other countries that pass a similar law this year, part of the National Campaign in which Republic legislators introduce the bill in 32 countries.
The bill is intended to prevent transgender women and girls from competing on a women’s sports team.
Conservative said they protect fair competition, but equivalent rights activists have criticized the campaign as a discriminatory attack on transgender people, saying there is no evidence that women and girls dominate sports.
Political analyst said this campaign was intended to turn on supporters of the Republicans hard.
“There is no evidence that there is a problem.
This is a red meat for the base,” said Robert Stein, a professor of political science at Padi University in Houston.
While the Texas Senate passed the companion bill, three versions of the previous home of laws were jammed at the Public Education Committee, which had the chairman of democracy.
The Republican Party then created a new version of the bill and sent it through the particular committee they controlled, allowing it to pass a full house Thursday.
The bill has returned to the Senate for procedural approval and is expected to reach the Abbott table.
The Republic of Texas has passed a very conservative agenda this year, including new laws that make it more difficult to choose, all unless prohibit abortion, and eliminate the need for permission to carry a hidden gun.
“Like many other things in the current Texas politics, it is sold primarily for voters who are ideologically driven in the Republican Party.
This is a voter who appears for the primary election of the Republic,” said James Henson, Director of the Texas Political Project at the University of Texas.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee and West Virginia have passed similar transgender legislation, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has signed an executive order that supports transgender sports prohibitions.
Some of the legal challenges face this.
Idaho passed a similar law last year which has been blocked by the federal court, and a federal court in July decided that a 11-year-old West Trans Virginia girl had to be allowed to try to trects and the cross-country girls’ team in her school challenged similar laws.
